Wonderful seeing my Charles Moore Dance Fami...Wow!! Wonderful seeing my Charles Moore Dance Family. I remember you Ramona and I see Terry in the photo (I believe). I saw the reunion dance at BAM 5 years ago. It was <br />Beautiful.<br /><br />I took classes with Baba Chuck and his wife for many years in the late 70's 78,79. Classes were held in the basement of the big Church on St Oxford or Portland. I loved moving across those floors perfecting our steps to the energetic beat of live drummers every Saturday morning. Brings back so many exhilarating memories. <br /><br />I was at the first Dance Africa and it was so exciting to see the dancers that studied with Baba Chuck and all the other talented African dance groups. I'm so glad Dance Africa sttod the test of time becoming BAM's longest running program. I love seeing the growth from it's very organic,free style gathering to the wordly professional production that it has grown into. I'm in attendance every year. <br /><br />Dancing with Chuck kept my love for dance burning. I'm still dancing! Now with Pure Onyx Movement a bellydance group of phenomenal Black Women and children of all ages. Keep an eye out for our annual performance in early December.<br /><br /><br />#DanceAfrica4ever #dancer4ever #Ilovedance<br /><br />Saundra Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617414257242188609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-30184202636310367992017-05-01T18:19:44.970-04:002017-05-01T18:19:44.970-04:00The photo brings back so many good memories of per...The photo brings back so many good memories of performing in DanceAfrica that first year 1978, and several years thereafter with the Charles Moore Dance Theater. The bringing together of different companies to celebrate African Dance was unlike any performance experience I'd ever had. The photo was taken on the roof and I remember the good time we had there, and in the theater during rehearsals, and actual performances. Looking forward to this year's festivities.Ramona Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592882258790199909noreply@blogger.com
